LGB ErasureCensorship Thursday - share your sub bans here!

submitted by [deleted] from (self.LGBDropTheT)

Were you a long-time subscriber of r/LGBT or r/ActualLesbians until you stood your ground that sexuality and gender identity are different? Were you called a TERF based on your user history? Did you get banned from other subs merely for being a participant here?

Share your stories! Screenshots are welcome as well.

Got banned from Lesbian Actually my first week on Reddit. Occasionally I'd get a message saying I'd been banned from a trans sub I'd never been to because I was participating in GC and anyone posting there would get autobanned somewhere else.

Not a sub specifically, but my Reddit account got suspended again for 7 days, for "harassment." What is "harassment" in this case, you ask? A one month old comment where I was saying negative things about myself.

It's fine to actually harass other users, apparently (I've seen it happen a lot and the people never disappear so I don't think they ever get banned) or call people really disgusting sexualized and somewhat homophobic terms (like I get called on Reddit a lot). But saying mean things about YOURSELF? That's ban-worthy now!

Edit: Just to be clear this is the second time this has happened. The last time was also the same thing, 7 day suspension for a 1-2 month old comment being negative towards myself. I have never received a suspension for anything other than self depreciating comments. I think it might be an auto punishment that came from mass reporting because I have a few Reddit stalkers who follow me around on literally any thread to be toxic, and the "reported comment" that was linked to in my suspension was during a discussion with one of them

Banned from Dankleft for saying that transgenders shouldn't be offended by being reminded they are biologically the other sex. I meant like doctor appointments, reading or hearing it casually (like a biology book saying that only females can menstruate)
